It is not advisable to marry a woman who has committed adultery multiple times, as this indicates persistence and a malicious nature. An adulteress should not be married until after her repentance, based on the Almighty's saying: "The fornicator does not marry except a [female] fornicator or a polytheist, and no one marries [a female fornicator] except a fornicator or a polytheist, and that has been forbidden to the believers." Her love for you might weaken the certainty of her sincere repentance. It is recommended not to marry her for fear of her returning to illicit relationships.
